Wire Connector RJ-45 ShiverPeaks 72067-B Blue

The ShiverPeaks Wire Connector RJ-45 72067-B in blue is a single male RJ-45 plug intended for creating or repairing Ethernet cable terminations. Manufactured for consistent contact performance, this connector supports standard eight-conductor twisted-pair network cables and is supplied as a pack of one. Its molded body and metal contacts are designed to provide a secure fit with compatible RJ-45 jacks and stable signal transmission for typical networking environments.

Advantages

This RJ-45 male connector features a color-coded blue housing for easy identification and organized cabling. The metal contacts are plated for reliable electrical contact, and the connector’s body is shaped for straightforward cable insertion and crimping with compatible tools. Supplied individually, it is suitable for targeted repairs or one-off installations where a single replacement or custom-terminated cable is required.

Suitable for

• Repairing damaged RJ-45 terminations on Ethernet cables
• Custom crimping of patch cables for home or small office networks
• Replacing a single connector in an existing cable run without replacing the entire cable

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 male (8P8C compatible)
• Color: Blue
• Pack quantity: 1 piece
• Contact material: metal contacts with conductive plating
• Compatible cable: 8-conductor twisted-pair Ethernet cable (solid or stranded as applicable to crimp type)
• Body material: durable molded plastic housing

How to use

Prepare the Ethernet cable by stripping the outer jacket to expose the eight insulated conductors, keeping enough jacket to support the connector body after crimping. Arrange the conductors according to the required wiring standard (for example T568A or T568B), trim them evenly, and insert them fully into the connector so each wire seats under its respective contact. Use a compatible crimping tool to compress the connector onto the cable, ensuring the strain relief locks over the cable jacket for a secure termination. After crimping, test the cable with a network cable tester to verify continuity and correct pinout.

Recommendations

Use an appropriate RJ-45 crimping tool rated for 8P8C connectors to avoid damage and ensure reliable contacts. Select the correct wiring standard before terminating multiple cables to maintain consistent network wiring. For environments requiring enhanced durability or shielding, choose connectors and cables that match the required performance level.
